"There is video footage of how he spoke about it and the media also covered it... Now he is changing his words, so I don't know how to take it... One thing is that he went to Vijayendra's house... He himself had said it, who would have known if he hadn't said it...? The media confirmed it when they heard it... If he came forward now and didn't say it now, it means he doesn't believe in his own words. Let's see, it seems that the issue may be raised in the House," he told reporters.
